Not a bad place to work, a bit of a gong show.

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay can be good, the employees are generally nice, and the unstructured nature of the place allows you to take it easy sometimes. Some people are very knowledgeable, and if you're lucky you can achieve a lot. Some people strive to improve themselves and the work they touch.

Cons

Many people are stuck in their ways. Some decisions from above are a bit odd. A bit of a gong show. Communications are weak, and the drive for quality is lacking in some employees. Some process decisions are ridiculous.
